Lot of traffic on the web about the CP3 injection pump failing (even exploding) around the 100K mark. This leads to a rebuild costing somewhere between $7,000 and $18,000. I'm talking about the 6.7 diesels from 2007 to 2018. Is this hyperbole.

Why not preemptively just replace the thing about then - and not worry about it

Never heard of a cp3 exploding and very very very rarely see one fail. Do you mean the CP4 in the 19-20 trucks maybe? That's what has been getting all the discussion for the past 2 years.

Even the modified version of the CP4.2 in the 19-20 Cummins (or EcoDiesel for that matter) are not failing around 100K miles. This "rumor" floating around on the internet is just that, someone will report a failure on multiple sights and from there it takes on a life of it's own that multiple trucks just had a failure.
I've heard similar rumors about the turbos failing at 100K also.

I've never seen CP3 pump explosions being discussed before, I guess anything is possible, but that pump is pretty bullet proof
